A Real Life Story About,A NOT-SO-FRIENDLY HOMETOWN,Where Outsiders Are Not Welcome!Written By: Beth McGriffin - United Kingdom ReporterThis is the true life story about Scott Conover, who moved to Johnson County, Tn from the Florida Keys. He
invested over several hundred thousand dollars in building a beautiful
resort; including a bar, restaurant, hotel, flea market, and campground.
It sounded like a great get-away but, after witnessing a Johnson County, TN
Sheriff Deputy brutalizing a citizen late one night in his parking lot, and
reporting, what six witnesses saw, to the Sheriff in the morning, it
turned into a nightmare from hell. The Sheriff's department began a
campaign of intimidation, harassment, and arrests against Scott Conover
and his family. This is almost like a sequel of the movie, "Race With
The Devil," as in the movie the the outsiders reported what they saw to
the sheriff, and the sheriff's cronies attacked them. Imagine getting arrested 9 times on bogus fictitious charges by out of control uneducated cops that don't even know how to spell your name . Does this sound
unbelievable? Well, It's true and well documented.

-----WARNING----Take photograph of one of J.C., TN's Incompetent Sheriff Deputies in this county and you will end up in JAIL, like Conover did!

DUE TO THE SHERIFF DEPT.'SMALICIOUS TACTICS
SCOTT CONOVER WASFORCED TO CLOSE DOWNBy: Kevin O'DonnellSpeaking
to Mr.Conover recently,
he stated the intimidation, harassment, and arrests were just too much
for him to deal with at the time; along with the corrupt cops and rouge
attorneys in the county. They continuously put his family's life in danger,
as well as his own. He has since
relocated his family, losing out on his investment along
the way. Conover stated that he lost several hundred thousand dollars,
which he had invested in the resort located in Trade, TN. He said enough
was
enough, after he received information from Mark Combs, who owned a
computer company in Mountain City,TN, about his neighbor William Douglas
Benore of Trade, TN. Combs told Conover that Benore was into child
pornography. Soon after learning this information, Conover discovered
that Benore was stalking his wife and children. Conover immediately got a
restraining order to protect his family
against William Douglas Benore of Trade, TN, who has a landscaping
business called Men -N- Trees in Trade, TN. This turned out to be
absolutely worthless, as the sheriff's department wouldn't even enforce
it. Then, the freak/stalker hires the Johnson
County Attorney's firm on record, Smith and Cockett, to represent him.
The same firm who is
employed by and represents Johnson county on a daily basis. Imagine
that. You get a restraining order from the Johnson County Courthouse to
keep a freak/stalker away from your family,
and the freak/stalker can hire Bill Cockett, who is employed by the
county and
is on their payroll, to protect him, from the same restraining order
that they issued you. Bill Cockett, the county attorney, is from of the
bottom of the barrel - he's the worst of the worst. This is an attorney
with absolutely no ethics, scruples, or morals, and who is motivated by
money only. Conover stated that
his
goal was to expose these corrupt cops, attorneys, and the handful of
public officials - who think they are above the law and are able to
abuse
it as they see fit, using the sheriff's department for their own
monetary gain daily.

TIRED OF THE UNETHICAL ATTORNEYS IN JOHNSON COUNTY, TN?
REPORT THEM. FILE A BAR COMPLAINT AGAINST THEM NOW:

Within the last five years while Scott Conover lived in Johnson County, TN, the sheriff's department has charged him witheightcharges,
all being dismissed. It is blatantly clear that these cops have
violated Mr. Conover's civil rights and civil liberties, over and over
again. No one should be subjected to this kind of intimidation and
retaliation by any law enforcement agency; the abuse of power and
authority within this department is as clear as day, after reading all
of the reports, and documented evidence. Conover stated that he has
spent over one hundred thousand dollars in legal fees to defend himself
for the numerous fictitious charges that these cops have continued to
fabricate against him because they dislike him, and obviously hold a
personal vendetta against him, for once being sued in the United States Federal Court for Civil Right Violations by him.
In all my years in the media, I have wrote thousands of articles and
never have I came across a story of this magnitude - with such
vindictiveness and malice intent. Conover stated that he feels for the
people that live in this county , and that cannot afford to defend themselves
or are unable to stand up for their rights against this corrupt
Sheriff's Department in Johnson County, TN.==========================================================

How do you meet the dysfunctional Sheriff in the county?Easy, Take a photograph of one of his moronic deputies.

Story by: UK REPORTER - Kevin Donley

This
is a clear implication is that the Johnson County Sheriff's Department,
was well aware that photography is not illegal, and undertaking a
campaign of harassment against Conover in retribution for having once been sued by Conover, in The United States Federal Court for Civil Right violations,
and arrested him out of spite, not because he had done anything
illegal. This is merely the latest in a series of actions designed to
intimidate Conover, his family, and his customers and put them out of
business. Conover is not guilty of "disorderly conduct" because Conover
did nothing wrong. The officer attempted anunlawful arrest of Conover. Unfortunately in today's society, despite the fact that the officer is guilty of a crime under Title 18 USC 242,
depriving a citizen of his rights "under color of law", it's unlikely
that anything will happen to officer McCloud, who will remain free to
intimidate citizens of Johnson County,TN and abuse his authority as he
sees fit. Only a few percent of all violations of Title 18 USC 242 are
ever prosecuted, nationally. For those interested in pressuring the
Johnson County District Attorney to address this clear abuse of
authority in this county, Johnson County falls under Tennessee's 1st
District.
